So far my computer's clock is behaving this week
Please eQSL at [email protected] and as always thank you for the show.
All chart rankings are from the "Billboard POP-ME (1890-2026)" 20260228 edition
A further note, there are other charts (Rock singles, R&B, Disco, Country and Bubblers)
I wish I had more time and other systems set up to search those databases for the ones that I put NCS (non-charting single) as they DO have rankings in the other charts

S-8 to 10/S-9 in NCOH - 0125 UTC. I should know some of these tunes but don't. :o
Heard their ProtonMail eQSL advertisement - may do that after the show.
ETA:
The CW may be driftnet beacons. HORRIBLE fist, whatever it is - and I can easily copy 30WPM.
ETA 2:

Not CW, and looks like it will be around awhile?
The Russian Military 20-Baud SignalIn the amateur radio (ham) bands, observers frequently log a mysterious, wideband signal that completely disrupts communications.Frequency Shift: Instead of narrow shifts used by typical digital radio or teletype systems (which are usually a few hundred hertz), this signal features a massive 7 kHz frequency shift.Speed & Operation: It operates at a very slow 20 baud (20 symbols per second).Dual-Channel Appearance: Because the frequency shift is so wide, it often visually and audibly sounds like two continuous wave (CW) transmissions running simultaneously or blinking back and forth.Origin & Purpose: Using Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) networks and KiwiSDR data, radio hobbyists have tracked these signals back to Russian naval or military installations, often in Crimea or near Sevastopol.
